Pat Buchanan's Friends At Work
Pat Buchanan's Friends At Work
Ouch.
A society that accepts the killing of a third of its babies as women's "emancipation," that considers homosexual marriage to be social progress, that hands out contraceptives to 13-year-old girls at junior high ought to be seeking out a confessional – better yet, an exorcist – rather than striding into a pulpit like Elmer Gantry to lecture mankind on the superiority of "American values."
Bullseye.
As a first step in righting the ship, we need to drive all pro-abortion and pro-homosexual "marriage" candidates out of the Republican party.
bump...think about later...off to work.
Hey, ping me next time Buchanan actually proposes a solution to a problem, instead of simply griping about his likes and dislikes.
No wonder he got so few votes.
Let's read this again:
If the Islamic world rejects this notion of freedom, why is it our duty to change their thinking? Why are they wrong?
Buchanan asks "why is freedom an inherent good? Maybe their rejection of freedom is just as legitimate as our embrace of it."
Buchanan has lost his moorings, and these notions of his are not the notions of an American conservative.
Plus I really fail to understand why anyone continues to listen to these sermons on the "immoral modern west" when they come from a guy who was 4-F for military service due to complications from venereal disease, and who has a child out of wedlock (to their great credit, both the GHWB campaign in '92 and the Dole campaign in '96 were well aware of Pat's love child, but chose not to make an issue of it, since she's a kid and deserves some privacy, even if her loudmouth father doesn't).
Pat misses that the war for the soul of America has more than one front. To be sure there is the assault by what he refers to as Pagan America that is attacking from inside the gates, but he apparently is unaware that the war on terrorism is also a cultural war, and the front lines are all over the world, but indeed Fallujah IS one of those.
Unfortunately, Pagan America of 2004 has far less to offer the world in cultural fare than did Christian America of 1954. Many of the movies, books, magazines, TV shows, videos and much of the music we export to the world are as poisonous as the narcotics the Royal Navy forced on the Chinese people in the Opium Wars
This is probably the most accurate statement he makes in this article.
I guess the country was pretty smart when they rejected this madman.
How 'bout a pants down spanking?
If it's Wednesday, it must be 'attack the neo-con Jews day' for Pat Buchananananan.
Yes, specially less choices in public facilities.
That the behavior exhibited by the few people who engaged in the acts we've seen portrayed ad nauseum in Abu Ghraib should be punished, and not rewarded.
That was easy Pat.
America is a land of myth. Not myth as in a sense of falseness, but myth as in a land that never quite has realized what people imagine it to be.
The Founding Fathers were myths in their own times and have been boiled down to simplistic descriptions.
The Civil War has as many mythical stories and interpretations as the story of the Trojan War, and just as many interesting and flawed characters.
The American GI became a mythic icon during both World Wars.
The 50's have a mythic sense of morality while the 70's have a mythic sense of depravity.
But we know that ascribing a mythic standard to everyone or everything in a group or time period is nonsensical. We have never been the model Christian nation that Pat tries to convince us we once were. We are not now the lost, wayward runaway that he believes we have become.
The sexual depradations that shown in those videos would have been condemned by Cotton Mather as well as Gloria Steinem. But Cotton Mather would have condemned female circumcision as well, let's not forget that. Just as the most radical feminist finds repulsive the idea of denying education to women so do Christians. But Pat doesn't see that. He sees Brittany Spears as a danger to Western Civilization, just as many saw the Beatles, or Elvis, or Glen Miller, or Al Jolson.
Western Civilization, and indeed sincere Christian existance within Western Civilization, has survived fine without heeding the warnings of the worrywarts and naysayers of every generation. It will do fine ignoring Pat Buchanan as well.
What an utterly stupid bit of trash. The sexual revolution in the US started much earlier than the 60's. It started late 19th century at least with women drs and layers, suffrage, business women, etc.
Sometimes Pat's thought seems to be deliberately provocative just to make waves. The sexual revolution he is talking about is the cultural descent into decadence.
vaudine
And to think I once voted for him in the California primary.
Pat Al-Hamas Buchakazi.
Buchanan is so irrelevant. Read the first few paragraphs to see if he might actually have something worth reading for once. Nothing's changed.
Great idea , Pat. Let's make sure to role out the Vice and Virtue Squads too. And executions for every perceived 'immoral' action.
Pat's dream, finally revealed.
Go Pat Go!
The real question is which is larger? Micheal Moore's arse of pat buchanan's fat head?
